Very nicely done mate! That's great pictures of our gas giants 👍
Thanks very much ziggy! I'm still trying to get my head around how a 4" scope can reveal this much detail! :D
That’s exceptional for the aperture
Remarkable images for 100mm. I'm glad to see that you are having a great time with it.
Thanks so much, Siri! I'm having a blast using it and sharing the experience. I'm lucky enough to have just borrowed another refractor as well, which will make for some interesting comparisons. I'll probably reveal that on the next video.
Congrats on the awesome images and amazing new scope!
Thank you!
Good stuff Chris, very nice images!
Thanks Kevin! The Takahashi did most of the work :D
Great images Chris
Many thanks Tony!
That rule for selection of Barlow is excellent. I use it and it never let me down.
Beautiful results and I also loved the timelapse of you next to the car, it felt immersive. Looking forward to the next video!
Many thanks! I'm really very pleased with the Takahashi. More Takahashi time lapses to come :)
Hi Chris, really nice picture. Definitely worth getting up early for.
Thanks Dan, yeah I'm glad I dragged myself out of bed :)
gorgeous!
The images are fantastic, very nice indeed. I've only observed Saturn so far and can't wait to break out the camera. I was very surprised how low it is and the angle of the rings have closed up it won't be long before the disc is face on that will be a great sight!
Nice informative video Chris looking forward to the next one.
Cheers Ryan
Hey many thanks buddy, and yeah definitely give Saturn a go whilst it's nice and close : )
Nice one Chris I really must get the Newtonian up & running sometime to do some planetary stuff!!
Cheers Tich! Yes, grab Saturn whilst it's close :)
Nice image, shall be trying to get out tonight weather permitting to get some more Jupiter and Saturn images.
I hope its clear for you James, Cheers! It's great to grab Saturn whilst it's so close.
Wow! Superb Chris. I've been experimenting with my gear with rather poor results so thanks for these tips. Hopefully I'll be able to put them to use tonight 🤞Cheers!
Hey many thanks, and good luck for tonight, I hope things go well :)
